The hopper 21 is mounted above the material chamber 22, and a lower end of the hopper 21 is connected with the material chamber 22. The concrete feeding mechanism 23 includes two main hydraulic cylinders 234, two concrete pistons 231 and two concrete cylinders 233. The auxiliary feeding mechanism 24 includes an auxiliary hydraulic cylinder 244, an auxiliary concrete piston 241 and an auxiliary concrete cylinder 243. Two concrete cylinders 233 of the concrete feeding mechanism 23 are symmetrically arranged at a side surface of the material chamber 22, the concrete cylinders 233 of two concrete feeding mechanisms 23 communicate with the material chamber 22, and the auxiliary concrete cylinder 243 of the auxiliary feeding mechanism 24 communicates with the distribution valve 26. The distribution valve 26 is disposed inside the material chamber 22 and communicates with the concrete cylinder 233 of the concrete feeding mechanism, the auxiliary concrete cylinder 243 and the discharge port 25. The water rinsing bath 27 is mounted at a rear side of the concrete feeding mechanism 23, the auxiliary feeding mechanism 24 is mounted above the concrete feeding mechanism 23, hydraulic mechanisms are arranged in a centralized way, and a pulling rod is disposed between the water rinsing bath 27 and the material chamber 22.

The friction plates are disposed at the front and rear ends of the distribution valve respectively and the friction plates are made of hard alloy, thereby strengthening sealing, preventing quick wear caused by the swing of the distribution valve, and prolonging the service life of equipment. The rubber spring 225 is disposed between the distribution valve friction plate 224 and the distribution valve 26 to ensure close contact between the distribution valve friction plate and the rear friction plate, thereby strengthening sealing and improving stability of the distribution valve in the swinging process.

The auxiliary feeding mechanism 24 and the concrete feeding mechanism 23 jointly pump the material in the material chamber 22 to the distribution valve 26, thereby solving the pumping pulsation problem caused by the swing of the distribution valve 26 when two hydraulic cylinders pump the material; at the same time, the parallel arrangement of the concrete feeding mechanism 23 and the auxiliary feeding mechanism 24 realizes the compact structure of the pumping mechanism 2, and pumping by the auxiliary feeding mechanism 24 in the material chamber 22 is more conducive to sealing. Further, the material is directly pumped from the material chamber 22, thereby ensuring a pumping pressure.

As shown in FIGS. 6-10, a main body of the distribution valve 26 of the pumping mechanism 2 is a reducer, an opening of the front end of the distribution valve 26 is in a shape same as that of the discharge port 25 swept by the swing of the distribution valve 26, a shape of an upper part of an opening of the rear end of the distribution valve 26 is same as a shape of the auxiliary concrete cylinder 243 swept by the swing of the distribution valve 26, and a shape of a lower part of the opening of the rear end of the distribution valve 26 is same as a shape of the concrete cylinder 233 swept by the swing of the distribution valve 26. The front end of the distribution valve 26 is an end connecting the distribution valve and the discharge port, and the rear end of the distribution valve 26 is an end connecting the distribution valve and both of one concrete cylinders 233 and the auxiliary concrete cylinder 243. The rear end of the distribution valve 26 is an inlet end in communication with the auxiliary hydraulic cylinder, the front end of the distribution valve 26 is an outlet end in communication with the discharge port 25, and the distribution valve friction plate 224 and the rear friction plate 223 are in close contact. The distribution valve 26 swings along with the mandrel 34 of the swing mechanism. In the swinging process, the front end of the distribution valve 26 is always in communication with the discharge port 25, and the rear end of the distribution valve 26 is in communication with the concrete cylinder 233 of one concrete feeding mechanism 23 and the auxiliary concrete cylinder 243 of the auxiliary feeding mechanism 24 for pumping the material. By designing a reasonable shape of the distribution valve, the distribution valve can communicate the concrete cylinder 233 and the auxiliary concrete cylinder 243 with the discharge port 25 during its swing with sealing of the distribution valve maintained, especially the distribution valve is always made to be in communication with the auxiliary concrete cylinder 243. Thus, the continuous material pumping can be guaranteed.

As shown in FIG. 5, the swing mechanism includes a swing hydraulic cylinder 31, a mandrel 34, a swing arm 32 and a swing hydraulic cylinder base 33. The swing hydraulic cylinder base 33 is mounted at an outer side of the material chamber 22, the swing hydraulic cylinders 31 are symmetrically arranged at both sides of the swing hydraulic cylinder base 33, and the swing arm 32 is hinged with the swing hydraulic cylinders 31 and mounted through a spline in cooperation with the mandrel 34. The swing hydraulic cylinder base 33 is in a trapezoidal-shape, the swing arm 32 is mounted at a short-side position of the hydraulic cylinder base 33, and two swing hydraulic cylinders 31 are arranged at two inclined sides of the swing hydraulic cylinder base 33 respectively. During work, when one swing hydraulic cylinder 31 extends, the other retracts. In this way, the work is repeated to drive the mandrel 34 to swing so as to bring the distribution valve 26 to swing. The mandrel 34 is of a pipe-shaped structure square in the middle and circular at both ends, a square section of the mandrel 34 is mounted through a mandrel cover 341 in cooperation with a fitting slot at an upper part of the distribution valve 26, and the mandrel cover 341 is fixed with nuts. The distribution valve 26 swings along with the mandrel 34. The swing arm 32 is mounted through the spline in cooperation with the mandrel 34, and the mandrel 34 is mounted through the mandrel cover 341 in cooperation with the fitting slot at the upper part of the distribution valve 26, so that the mandrel 34 swings effectively along with the swing arm 32 to facilitate mounting. The hydraulic system 4 includes a hydraulic oil tank and a motor, and the pumping mechanism 2, the swing mechanism 3 and the hydraulic system 4 are all disposed on the frame 1.

The above pulsation-free wet spraying machine specifically works in the following process: firstly, the material is poured into the hopper 21, and then, the material in the hopper 21 enters the material chamber 22 due to gravity; one of the concrete feeding mechanisms 23 sucks the material into the concrete cylinder 233 from the material chamber 22 by retracting the concrete piston 231, and the piston rod 232 of the other concrete feeding mechanism 23 pushes the concrete piston 231 to push the material in the concrete cylinder 233 to the discharge port 25 through the distribution valve 26; when the distribution valve 26 rotates along with the mandrel 34 of the swing mechanism 3, the concrete piston 231 in the concrete cylinder 233 completing sucking pushes the material, and the concrete feeding mechanism 23 completing feeding sucks the material into the concrete cylinder 233 from the material chamber 22; when any concrete feeding mechanism 23 pumps the material, the auxiliary feeding mechanism 24 sucks the material from the distribution valve 26; when the distribution valve 26 swings, the auxiliary feeding mechanism 24 replenishes the material; when the auxiliary concrete piston 241 in the auxiliary concrete cylinder 243 pushes the material, baffle plates at both wings of the distribution valve friction plate 224 block outlets of the concrete cylinders 233; therefore, the feeding pulsation phenomenon and the sprayed concrete rebound phenomenon are avoided.
